Little Danger of Scarcity of the
Supply During Coming
Summer Months.
CITY BOARD BUYS OUT
NEARLY ALL INDEPENDENTS
Meters Will Be Installed to Check
the Waste and Providing Suf
ficient Supply for Many More New
Residents.
Residents of east side high districts are
anxious'.y wondering If a repetition of
last summer's water famine In that
quarter Is to be gone through with
again during the coming hot weather.
There has probably been no summer In
thehlstory of Portland when there was
as much actual suffering on account of
the scarcity of water as during the
months of July and August of last year.
The entire east side plateau from the
western slope of Mount Tabor to Ports
mouth was frequently without even
drinking water, while lawn sprinkling
was not even attempted during the
greater part of the hot season.
Vernon, North Irvlngton, Montavllla
and portions of Upper Alblna were the
greatest sufferers, but on a number of
tne warmest days there waa loud com
plaint from all portions of the east side.
' BTew Main Xs Xld.
During the past winter and spring
the, water board has made strenuous
efforts to provide against a recurrence
Of last summer's water famine. A 24-
Inch main has been laid from the Mount
Tabor reservoir north and west to con
neot with the Portsmouth main. A
loo.ooo-gaiion standplpe has been In
stalled at vernon and connected with
the 24-lnch main, which, It Is believed.
will give ample pressure for the entire
northwestern section of the city.
Tne Mount Tabor water company that
upplled a portion of the mount resi
dents and all of Montavllla has been
purchacod by the city water board and
Bull Run water turned into the mains
of that compa... This action. It Is be
iievea, wi . relieve the difficulty in
Montavllla and ths district to the north
or Mount Tabor.
Independents BongUt Out
About all ths little Independent water
companies that were put In to supply
ins small suDuman districts that have
since been taken Into the city have been
purchased by the city water board and
Bun Run turned Into their mains,
It is estimated that at least 10,000
peopia wrm supplied by ths city
water system this summer that drew
their supply from independent systems
last year, out tne water board expects
that the Installation of meters will have
the effect of checking waste with the
result that notwithstanding the large
increase In the number of consumers,
there will be an ample supply of Bull
